SIR – Re G Steff’s letter (T&A, October 25) about the direct airport bus 737.

I have travelled on every bus from early morning through the day every day through the week (not the same week).

People get on the bus at Bradford, Shipley, Guiseley, Yeadon and the airport. No passenger gets off at the airport, but passengers get on, then travel on to Harrogate to shop.

It seems to me that the bus is used as a replacement for the Bradford First Bus 653 which used to travel to Harrogate but now terminates at Otley.

Also the 967 bus from Otley via Menston and Pool-in-Wharfedale to the airport is only used by shoppers.

I have never seen any passengers with luggage, therefore both buses are not used to get to the airport solely for airport travel.
